You can take 5000 units daily docs are a such joke..... The dose that they gave you wont even tickle.

i meant 50000 lol sorry

I'm supposed to get 1 ML in a monthly injection. I don't absorb it orally, not even under the tongue. My body no longer metabolizes these vitamins from food or the sun.
I have to wonder if the Lyme D. has anything to do with that.

My B12 and Vit. D were both insufficient. I am perscribed 50,000 un. of B12 that I take weekly.

I've known "healthy" people to have a vitamin D level as low as 19. Infections can certainly interact with many points of your physiology, but it's important to remember the vast majority of us don't get enough sunlight. I would just supplement and get more sunlight and check back in a few months. If it doesn't raise substantially then maybe it's the lyme. Mine was about the same point as yours and I got it more than twice as high with a little supplementation. Slacked off and now its low again

Also be aware that many "non-Lyme" pharmaceuticals and OTC meds are drug muggers of Vitamin D (and many other nutrients):
